Recipients and payment rates of housing allowances
URL: https://www.oecd.org/els/family/PH3.3-Recipients-payment-rates-housing-allowances.xlsx
In many countries, housing allowances are an important tool of affordable housing policy (see Indicator PH3.1 on Public spending on housing allowance as a % of GDP). “Housing allowances” can cover costs relating to rent, payment of mortgage and/or interest, utilities, insurance and services, while the term "rent allowance" refers to housing allowances paid to tenants only. In most countries, housing allowances are geared towards low-income households, and payment rates often depend on household size, housing costs and income (see Indicator PH3.2 on Key characteristics of housing allowances). This indicator measures the coverage and generosity of housing allowances based on (1) survey data and (2) OECD tax-benefit microsimulation models (OECD, 2021). Survey data show which households benefit from housing allowances (by income quintile and by tenure). Results from OECD tax-benefit microsimulation models, by contrast, show how the payment rates of housing allowances vary with household income, averaging across different family types.
